Once inserted, markers can be finely adjusted in one-frame steps. This also applies to the LAST REC IN and OUT points (they double as Punch In and Out points). The Start and End markers cannot be adjusted.

1.Press the [ADJUST] button.

The display shows MARKX:ADJST (“X”being the number of the Marker whose number is flashing on the display at the time when you press [ADJUST]).

2.Use the DATA dial to select the marker that you want to adjust.

IN and OUT refer to the LAST REC IN and OUT points.

3.Press the [ENTER] button.

The display shows ADJSTLoad. and about ten seconds of sound data (about five seconds on either side) of the marker is loaded into memory for quick playback.

When loading is complete, the sound data can be played from about 1.5 seconds before the marker to about 1.5 seconds after the marker, as shown below.

10 seconds of sound data loaded into memory

The 1.5 seconds of sound data before the marker is played at a lower volume level, so you can hear exactly where the marker occurs. To play the first 1.5 seconds at normal volume and the remaining sound data at a lower level, turn the CURSOR shuttle to the left. You can toggle between these two playback modes by turning the CURSOR shuttle to the left, or right. Each time you do so the sound data is played.
